Description
Blossoming was created using images of Clematis, Auralite crystal and Sea Urchin.
Clematis is a useful remedy for us to use on our spiritual journey. It's especially useful for grounding and centering. It also helps us to bring our gifts out into the world and to manifest anything on the physical plane.
We are spiritual beings in a physical body and we have come here to manifest ourselves and our gifts in a physical way.
Clematis will help you to get and stay grounded. This may even feel uncomfortable for a while especially if you are used to closing your eyes and just floating out of your body during meditation or quiet time. Clematis will enable you to have a foot in both worlds. It will help you to make a commitment to share your gifts and talents and skills with the world.
The background was created using images of Sea Urchin and Auralite 23 crystal.
Sea Urchin teaches discernment and the art of underlying circumstances. Slow and methodical, she shows how to maneuver with tenacity and patience. Nothing is impossible when Urchin is guiding you. Urchin will teach balance of rough and tender. Evolution, metamorphosis and new developments are highlighted with Sea Urchin medicine. She teaches ways of extracting information out of the rubble of the mind and of day to day activities. Care of your feet, physical movement and grounding properties hallmark Urchin's meaning. Sharp purple quills are the signature of Sea Urchin. Inside, the little sea creature is vulnurable and soft. We are always protected when we stay in touch with universal light through the crown chakra. A powerful ally to use when charting unknown territory....
Urchin can provide safety required to explore and dispel energy which may have created unhealthy patterns such as alchoololism, addictions, and eating disorders. At another level, it can provide safety from any psychic attack on our Being. Mentally it alleviates worry and obsessive thinking. Emotionally it frees from compulsive behaviors and addictions.
Urchin also helps with panic attacks and other respiratory problems which are common when we don't feel safe. It supports the Crown Chakra and Solar Plexis Chakra.
Auralite 23 Crystal is said to enhance healing, personal development, and intuition extensively and on many levels, and is said to be balancing for all the chakras.
The feather symbolizes Ma'at, the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities, who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation. After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of souls that took place in the underworld. Her feather was the measure that determined whether the souls of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife successfully....by seeing if their hearts (souls) were lighter than her feather.
Maat helps with:
Addictions and cravings, overcoming
Clarification in confusing situations
Discerning the truth, and integrity in others
Divine magic
Integrity and commitments for oneself and others
Orderliness
Protection against deceit and manipulation
Purifying the body
If you're confused or undecided about a situation, ask Maat to help you clarify your true feelings and intentions. She'll give you insight into the other people involved in the situation as well. Before you call upon her, though, be absolutely certain that you're willing to face the truth and possibly receive information that you don't want to know. (such as being told about someone's lack of integrity, for example).
At the bottom of the mandala, we have Fu, Lu, and Shou the three "gods", which are sometimes called as the "Three Stars." Separately, they may be called Fu Xing, also known as, God of Happiness, Lu Xing, also known as, God of Prosperity, and lastly Shou Xing, also known as, God of Longevity. "Xing" mean "star." Some people have identified them with the three stars of Orion's belt.
Fu, Lu and Shou are deities which symbolize happiness, wealth and longevity. They are represented together since they provide symbolism as a unity and they enhance each one of their powers by this union. They work as a trinity and attract their three benefits altogether and most of each one of their powers depend on their unity.
Purple is the main color theme for this mandala. Purple embodies the balance of red�s stimulation and blue�s calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined, at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative types
Purple uplifts, calms the mind and nerves, offers a sense of spirituality, encourages creativity Purple is the color of the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra, also known as the Sahasrara, is located at the top of the head. It is linked to the crown of the head, the nervous system, and the brain, and is representative of pure thought. This chakra connects one with the infinite consciousness. Opening this chakra will help tap into a deep spiritual understanding.
